Many bodybuilders ask me how to get the perfect V, develop "Cannon Ball Shoulders". Create the perfect physique, how to build shoulder muscle. Keep reading to know the routine I follow to develop shoulder muscles.
Want to look good in clothes, and with out clothes, some might be tempted to get shoulder pads. Too embarrassing if you had to take your clothes off, you need to know how to build shoulder muscle.
The function of lifting and rotating the arms is achieved with the 3 headed muscle in the shoulder. This consists of the anterior (front), the medial region (middle) and the posterior region(rear) These heads can stimulated by using two different movements in the gym, an over head press and a raise.
The over head press is the most effective exercise to build shoulder muscle, this can be performed with both the barbell and the dumbbell, dumbbell are the most effective.
Dumbbells allow a more natural range of motion, and one arm cant cheat the other. The position to achieve optimum effect, is sitting on a bench with a vertical back support. Press the dumbbells overhead until your elbows are just short of locking out, then lower them back to shoulder level.
The basic side lateral raise is preformed with the dumbbells. The medial head will feel the stress of the side laterals. Greater shoulder width and wider upper body will be achieved.
Stand with knees bent slightly, hold the dumbbells with palms facing inward. With a slight bend in the arms, raise the dumbbells up to shoulder level and back down to starting position.
For maximum size and strength, the basic over head press and side lateral raise is all you really need. The shoulders are stimulated with every single upper body exercise you perform. Working too hard on the shoulders will actually hinder their results. I do not recommend that you perform isolation exercise for the anterior and posterior heads.
Quality not quantity is the key for how to build shoulder muscle.
This is a sample routine to build shoulder muscle.
Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press " 2 sets of 5-7 reps. Standing, Dumbbell Side Laterals- 2 Sets of 10 Reps
If you wish you can include to isolate muscles,Standing Front Dumbbells Raise " 1 set of 12 Reps Seated Rear Lateral Dumbbell Raise " 1 set of 10-12 reps. But I don't recommend this.
Standing Front Dumbbells Raise " 1 set of 12 Reps Seated Rear Lateral Dumbbell Raise " 1 set of 10-12 reps to isolate muscles but not recommended.
You will be able to increase resistance and the number of reps you perform if you keep a record of your workouts. You will improve each week.
